Project:Policy
The following policies and guidelines are statements issued by Kanzenshuu that have varying scope and power.
Policies
Access Policy
While the wiki is available for viewing by the general public, editing and publishing privileges are reserved exclusively for authorized members of the Kanzenshuu community only. This is too ensure that all information presented on the wiki meets our standards of quality and accuracy, in addition to preventing vandalism and information tampering.
Blocking Policy
Banning Policy
Image Reversion Policy
User Page Policy
Signature Policy
A user signature is required on all communication pages (User talk, Article talk, etc.) whenever a contribution is made. This allows other users to see who has written the post and when it was originally posted. Article contributions and automatically logged and should not be signed. Signatures can be added to posts by adding four tilde (~) in a row or by clicking the signature button in the editing toolbar (do not reply with three tildes as this will result in a missing time stamp). This will automatically generate your signature when you save the page.
Custom signatures can be created under the "User profile" tab of a user's Preferences page. All custom user signatures must be properly maintained and adhere to the following guidelines:
- Signatures cannot contain images.
Signatures should be text-only when rendered (viewed on the page); images are not allowed, due to the slow load times they can cause on talk pages, and the additional server stress it can occasionally cause.
- Signatures should not exceed 80 characters on-screen when rendered.
Keep the signature short and simple; if the length isn't within a reasonable size, this can cause a signature to be needlessly distracting.
- The font size cannot exceed the font size of normal text.
Do not use additional code, such as <big> or <font size=#> tags, to increase the text size of the signature. This will needlessly disrupt the page's line spacing.
- No line breaks.
Do not use <br> tags or linebreaks within the signature, as this will cause the signature to take up multiple lines of text on a page.
- No signature templates.
Keep the entirety of the signature's coding within your Preferences. Signature templates can create additional server stress when changed, or page errors if not properly created.
- A link to the user page is required.
Ensure that a custom signature links back to your own user page.
- Signatures must contain a user's actual username.
A signature must contain the user's actual username as it appears on the wiki and forum. Usernames used by a user in other communities are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
Remember, your signature is meant to identify you on a discussion page, not to briefly list off your favorite characters, etc., so keep your signature simple. Failure to adhere to these guidelines will result in a warning to change your signature; deliberately refusing to adhere may result in a ban.
Guidelines
Style Manual
Users should make every effort to follow the established Kanzenshuu style manual. Any major deviations will be reversed, unless approved or deemed necessary by an administrator under the circumstances. If a question arises concerning a style standard not discussed in the style manual, it should be addressed on the relevant article talk page.
Image Guidelines
Protected Page Guidelines
Due to the community-only nature of the wiki, all articles and pages will remain unprotected to authorized user editing. However, this is subject to change. As an exception, only administrators will be authorized to edit policy and guideline pages, and therefore they will remain protected indefinitely to prevent unauthorized tampering. If a user is found to be abusing their privileges, or is in violation of any of the policies set forth above, their privileges may be revoked with a possible ban depending on the nature of the conduct in question.
Talk Page Guidelines
Talk pages are reserved for discussions concerning wiki-related matters only, such as issues, content, improvements, and/or problems. Any topics related to either the main website or forum should be discussed in their respective locations. All posts on talk pages must be signed, per the signature policy above. Users are only allowed to edit their own posts and are forbidden from editing other user's posts.
